Night Prayer
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Inspiration
We do not have the ability to understand God’s wisdom and goodness. We are in awe of the simplicity in which He created the very air we breathe and land we walk upon. He already had our human bodies in mind as he prepared the components of the atmosphere. He designed each of us with the same attention to detail and created within us all the power to overcome obstacles.
Prayer
Dear God, we are in awe of Your power and knowledge. Thank you for creating within us the ability to overcome obstacles we face this day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
